Answer:

Since \bigtriangleup \geq 0, the superhero makes it over the building.

Step-by-step explanation:

The height is given by the following function:

f(x) = -16x^{2} + 200x

Will the superhero make it over the building?

We have to find if there is values of x for which f(x) = 612.

Solving a quadratic equation:

Given a second order polynomial expressed by the following equation:

ax^{2} + bx + c, a\neq0.

This polynomial has roots x_{1}, x_{2} such that ax^{2} + bx + c = a(x - x_{1})*(x - x_{2}), given by the following formulas:

x_{1} = \frac{-b + \sqrt{\bigtriangleup}}{2*a}

x_{2} = \frac{-b - \sqrt{\bigtriangleup}}{2*a}

\bigtriangleup = b^{2} - 4ac

If \bigtriangleup < 0, the polynomial has no solutions.

In this question:

f(x) = -16x^{2} + 200x

-16x^{2} + 200x = 612

16x^{2} - 200x + 612 = 0

We have to find \bigtriangleup

We have that a = 16, b = -200, c = 612. So

\bigtriangleup = (-200)^{2} - 4*16*612 = 832

Since \bigtriangleup \geq 0, the superhero makes it over the building.

Find the equation of the line that passes through (1,2) and is perpendicular to
uysha [10]

Answer:

Remember that the slope of perpendicular lines are negative reciprocals of each other.

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 1 - 2x     the slope is -2     the value of the x term.

So the slope of the new line using point (- 1, 2)  is  1/2.

Now use y = mx + b where y = -1, x = 2, and m = 1/2 .

y = mx + b

-1 = 1/2(2) + b                solve for "b", the y-intersect

-1 =  1 + b

-2 = b

The line that is perpendicular to y = 1 - 2x  is  y = 1/2x - 2

Which steps would be used to solve the equation? Check all that apply. 2 and two-thirds + r = 8 Subtract 2 and two-thirds from b
Jet001 [13]

Answer:

Subtract 2 and two-thirds from both sides of the equation

8 minus 2 and two-thirds = 5 and one-third

Substitute the value for r to check the solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

2 2/3  + r   = 8

Subtract 2 2/3 from each side

2 2/3  + r  - 2 2/3   = 8 - 2 2/3

r = 5 1/3

Check the solution

2 2/3 +5 1/3 =8

8 =8
